[ Dark eyes and black braids. The face of a young girl, perhaps familiar to some, perhaps not to the rest, but it isn't whether she is familiar or not that is the question. It is why in those eyes that usually glitter with youth and determination, there is the glaze of daze and confusion, a paleness to her skin that is not usually there. The

Yachiru...? Everyone's still here? [ It's not a bad thing, but she's just a little surprised. ]

Well, not everybody. But lots of people!
But hey hey, Mei-Mei! Where did you go while you weren't here?

I think I went home.

I don't remember...

Hey, Mei-Mei! While you were gone I learned how to shoot a bow and arrow! And my kitty Pachi-chan can use a sword! You should see, it's really funny!

Will you show me? [ A kitty using a sword, she must see this. ]

[From off screen somewhere (presumably her little red hobo wagon) she produces a cat who happens to have a little sword tucked into a belt tied around his kitty middle. He looks very unperturbed as he hangs from the little girl's arms.]

Xiao-Mei, of course, is not happy that another pet is getting attention. She huffs, crosses her little panda arms and turns her back to the Forge. ]

[She lifts the little cat's paw and waves it at Xiao-Mei.]
See?
[And at that last question, Yachiru glances away, her smile disappearing. She pets Pachi's head and gives him a kiss, as if to cover her momentary distraction, and turns back to face the camera. She reclaims her happy expression, though now it is not quite so effortless.]

Glowering panda in three, two... ] Xiao-Mei wants to be friends with Pachi-chan too!
[ Though her smile fades for a moment, she picks it back up, pretending she didn't notice Yachiru's 'distraction'. ]
Yes. I cam back, so Ken-chan will find his way back too.
Where are you staying?

[Pachi is allowed to slip out of her grasp and slink onto her shoulders, from which vantage point he stares with blue, critical cat eyes at the Forge and the little panda within in.]
Exactly, Mei-Mei! I'm sure he'll be back! He probably just got lost without me to tell him which way to go!
Umm... I stay lots of places! Byakushi gave me a room at his house and sometimes I sleep on Trebont's couch or in Scilly's room. When it's really cold I sleep in the boiler room of a factory! It's reeeaaaaally warm there!
